It's been a long few months for Doctor Who fans. Since the end of the show's "second" season (in actuality, its 41st run of episodes) in May saw star Ncuti Gatwa unexpectedly bow out of the sci-fi franchise, there has been doubt over when – or even if – the series would return. Well, now we finally have an answer: Doctor Who will return in 2026 for a Christmas Special.
A press release posted today across Doctor Who's social media reveals that not only will the next episode be a festive special, penned by showrunner Russell T. Davies, but Disney Plus are officially no longer involved in the venerable sci-fi series.
